PGS ASA: Third Quarter 2020 Results

News Provided by GlobeNewswire2020-10-21
17 Views

Actively Addressing a Challenging Market
Refinancing Progressing According to Plan

Takeaways Q3 2020

  • Segment Revenues of $116.1 million, compared to $234.2 million in Q3 2019
  • Segment EBITDA of $88.4 million, compared to $160.1 million in Q3 2019
  • Segment EBIT (excluding impairments and other charges) of $0.5 million, compared to $37.9 million in Q3 2019
  • Segment MultiClient pre-funding revenues of $50.4 million, with a corresponding pre-funding level of 89%, compared to $94.9 million and 125%, respectively, in Q3 2019
  • Cash flow from operations of $65.9 million, compared to $151.9 million in Q3 2019 
  • As reported revenues according to IFRS of $85.1 million and an EBIT loss of $4.3 million, compared to $276.5 million and EBIT of $50.3 million, respectively, in Q3 2019
  • Completed reorganization reducing annual gross cash cost by more than 33% to below $400 million
  • Recognized $23.2 million of government grants relating to the Covid-19 pandemic
  • Currently in default under loan agreements. Agreement with sufficient majority of lenders to prevent acceleration and to implement extension of maturities and debt amortization to September 2022 and beyond (see description in Note 11 in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements)

“The widespread disruptions in the oil market and the significant reduction in energy companies’ 2020 budget continued to impact the seismic market in the third quarter. Our vessel utilization ended at 71%, of which a large majority was allocated to MultiClient. The standby time of 11% reflects the dramatic reduction of activity levels and challenge of securing acquisition projects into the winter season. However, we optimized vessel utilization from our integrated service offering by being agnostic to whether seismic acquisition is done as a contract job or a MultiClient project. We mix and match the two business models to get the best commercial value. During the third quarter we secured and executed on significant work programs originating from our portfolio of MultiClient prospects.

In August we started working in our new organization after a comprehensive reorganization to reduce cost and adapt to the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Including the vessel capacity reductions implemented in the first half of the year, our annualized gross cash cost is reduced from approximately $600 million to below $400 million.

To preserve liquidity and secure business continuity we have over the last months engaged and negotiated with our lenders. Towards the end of the quarter we announced an agreement in principle with a majority of them on main terms. I am pleased that we have now signed up with a sufficient majority of lenders and will proceed to swiftly implement the agreement on a consensual basis if we achieve 100% support from lenders. Alternatively the solution will be implemented by using a UK scheme of arrangement, for which we have support from the required super majority of lenders. No debt maturities and no scheduled debt amortization until September 2022, together with our substantial cost reductions, will improve our liquidity profile significantly and enable us to maneuver through these challenging times.

Going into the fourth quarter all our vessels are preparing for their next jobs, but we will incur some standby time. However, we expect higher revenues from vessel operations going forward. We have an acceptable leads basket for MultiClient data library sales and expect higher sales in the fourth quarter, compared to the average of the previous three quarters.”

Rune Olav Pedersen,

President and Chief Executive Officer

Outlook
The revised and significantly lower 2020 investment plans among energy companies has significantly reduced demand for seismic services. A majority of the reduction is postponements to 2021 and beyond, in order for the energy companies to protect cash flow in a period where the Covid-19 pandemic has caused extreme disruptions in the oil market.

PGS believes it will take time for seismic demand to get back to pre-Covid 19 levels. However, combining the effects of potential pent-up demand, a more stable oil price through second half of 2020 and an expectation of higher oil prices in 2021, PGS believes in increasing activity levels through 2021. Despite the impacts of the Covid-19 crisis, energy consumption is expected to continue to increase in the future with oil and gas continuing to play an important role in the energy mix. Offshore reserves will be vital for future supply and support the demand for marine seismic services. The expected future recovery of the seismic industry is likely to benefit by the recent further industry capacity reductions.

Based on current operational projections, with five 3D vessels operated for the remaining part of 2020, and with reference to disclosed risk factors, PGS expects full year 2020 gross cash costs to be below $450 million, excluding severance and other restructuring costs of approximately $35 million.

2020 MultiClient cash investments are expected to be approximately $225 million.

Approximately 65% of 2020 active 3D vessel time is currently expected to be allocated to MultiClient acquisition.

Capital expenditure for 2020 is expected to be below $40 million.

The order book totaled $160 million at September 30, 2020 (including $52 million relating to MultiClient). The order book was $155 million at June 30, 2020 and $336 million at September 30, 2019.
